Big Noon Kickoff - Oct 26

[djm_psu_alum]

I assume Fox's Big Noon Kickoff only does B10 and B12 games. Based on that, are these the viable options?

• PSU at Wiscy
• Neb at OSU
• BYU at UCF
• Wash at Indy
• Mich State at Mich

Really hoping PSU avoids the 11am start in Wisconsin given our slow-a$$ starts.

If Nebraska beats Indiana this week that's a lock to be the Noon game assuming Fox has first pick

That was my thoughts but don't they have to designate the Big Noon Kickoff 12 days prior (i.e. today)?

In a way, I do too. However, an 11:00 a.m. start there may help to take the crowd out of it. Also, Fox already has done a Big Noon game at Wisconsin this season, so maybe that will play a role in the decision.

How we be on ESPN? that's not an option - they no longer carry any Big Ten home games.

Remember that when people start freaking out over the night kickoff time. Personally I think it's more beneficial to PSU to start at night instead of at 11am central

You'd rather play a night game at Camp Randall over a Noon game?

The hatred of noon starts is strong here

Can’t believe Michigan vs Michigan State is banished to the Big Ten network.

Camp Randall will be raucous @ night.

Yep. The job is to beat Wisconsin, not the crowd. All away venues not named Purdue or Rutgers are difficult this year.

The three network games - Nebraska/tOSU, Illinois/Oregon and PSU/Wisconsin - are all superior so not really a surprise. Also Michigan needed a conference game on BTN and this was a good option.
